Aren't there two different slip covers for First Class? Hoping I get sent Magneto.
There's the two different sides but I think there's also one with just the regular cover.

For me, the only titles I buy as soon as I can get them are my top ten favorites, all but one of which have been released on BD already. The rest can wait; that is the purpose of the "Blu-ray Bargains" forum, after all.
Same here. Unless I am going to watch it this week or its a 3D (those do not seem to really go down after the 1st week). I wait. I told my GF that we are only going to watch the movies that are unopen from last year before we buy new ones. That work well.

Okay. I guess I'll just have to wait and see which one Amazon sends me.

Just the sides, just turn the one over you want to show.

And X-Men went out of stock precisely the moment I placed my order. When I hit submit, it just kept looping and looping (refreshing) by itself on the page until I clicked my cart. Then it said "tough luck again, sucker". No actually it said it was OOS (Amazon's favorite state on BF week).

And I just got back from eating breakfast and was able to get it this time. Now I just hope that since they accepted the order they won't pull a Newegg on me and send me an email later saying "we're sorry, we cancelled this item because it's out of stock". I paired it with Super 8 preorder and the WOODWARD coupon still works. Saves me a trip to Target on Tuesday.

There are two "flavors" of Xmen. BD/DVD/DC or BD/DC. I think you guys are confusing them and I think Amazon did a changeup and is now selling the BD/DC for $9.99 rather than the pricier version that sold out. Personally, I don't have a problem with that.

Yeah I just deleted my message. Another one of those cases where a higher priced marketplace seller takes precedence over the Amazon one.

So the only difference is an included DVD? If so, I'm fine with that.

I thought the version that included the DVD was a Target exclusive.

Thanks, I think you're right. I just bought it and didn't notice that it wasn't the combo, but it's still a good deal for me.

I wasn't going to get Super 8 (saw it in theaters) but couldn't resist the coupon deal for $14.99.

Last night when I checked before and after the sale started, the only one I could find listed on Amazon was the Blu/DC, and yes, the Combo pack is a Target exclusive.

While I'd like to have the dvd too, at least for the time being since my current living conditions aren't ideal, I did like this movie quite a bit and haven't re-watched it since it was in theaters, so I'd gladly pay 9.99 for it.

So I probably got the inferior X-Men First Class package? I guess I'll survive, but if BB has it for the same price that would've been better. I never noticed. EDIT: BB's picture shows the same one as Amazon now. So, if the BD + DVD combo pack was a Target exclusive, how did Amazon manage to have it earlier this morning?

It's funny how the Aquarium HD Moods sold out right away but nobody cares about the cheaper fire one. Like I said, I'd love the Muppets but I want all 5 seasons @ $15 each or nothing.

Someone mentioned earlier that 24 S8 on BD is $17.99. Is that not a good price? People don't seem to be talking about it much.

Maybe it was but I have no trouble finding it on Amazon. Also, it's listed in Best Buy's black friday ad.

I don’t know what some of you guys were smoking, but the BD+DVD+DC of First Class was a Target exclusive. Amazon never had that version. All other copies are just BD+DC.

I guess so. Best Buy shows it as a doorbuster and calls it a "combo pack" in their ad along with Fast Five and Green Lantern. Evidently it does NOT include the DVD although Fast Five and Green Lantern do. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks, low enough for me to get Fast Five. $3 more then Best Buy later in the week, but it won't bother me enough to fight for that extra savings.

Have you guys checked the Target.com deals? Fast Five is $10, Bridesmaids is also $10 (looks like Amazon matched though). They have a ton of deals. If you have the red card you get the 5% off and free shipping, so it's cheaper then Amazon in a lot of cases.

Tempted by Source Code at $12.49. This movie is conducive to repeat watching
